Really happy with my squatting progress, considering I haven’t touched heavy weight in over a week it felt great. I ended up biking to the gym and back which I think helped my legs warm up for what I was going to put them through.

February 27th.Today was a chest workout day, my gym switched all the machines around which made some things a bit more crowded, but none the less I had a solid workout.

Close Grip Bench Press100 x 12125x 12130 x 12These felt good since it was the first time I've done them, I think I can start around 110-115 because 100 seemed super light.

Bench Press135 x 12135 x 10135 x 10I wasn't feeling strong on these, and I was hoping to get back into my bench maybe in and around 145, but that wasn't happening. I didn't have a spotter as per usual so when I feel like I won't succeed on the next lift I stop.

Incline Bench125x10135x 10135 x 8Felt good, definitely happy.

25x 1230 x 1030 x 12

First time doing these, I may switch them out for dumbbell bench, because it felt as though I was working my arms a lot more than chest.

Overall a solid workout, it was one of those days where I was one of the only guys in the gym, so most of the machines were empty, it was great.

I wasn't going to go to the gym today, but some personal matters came up, and I used my aggression to my advantage.

Power Cleans125 x 8135 x 8150 x 8I busted open a callous and a blister on that last set, but I proceded to continue, which turned out to be a mistake. I bled quite a bit, but when I got home I quickly researched how to tape it up in order to help it heal.

Completely drained, and my shoulders are sore. I'm currently tending to my wound to see how this tape works.

This is currently what my hand looks like. There is currently a hole right below my middle finger that decided to rip during Power cleans. My mistake was continuing my workout and working that rip deeper. I'm taking it easy until sunday where I will continue with my legs workout and judge my hand if its ready for Monday or not.

March 2nd. My hand has been healing a bit, and I've wrapped it a lot nicer than what I posted before. Its sensitive and I can feel it when I write or grab something, but I'm hoping giving it a solid break will help it heal.I ate fairly well today, went grocery shopping, and bought a lot of fresh produce. I opted for a fruit smoothie today at school, from Boathouse farms since I missed my vega shake due to not having any rice milk, but it got me through my day.
